WORTH IT$12,000
After having my first child at 17 and 2nd child at 18 (which was a c.section) I was in real need of help with the lose skin on my tummy. I am so pleased with the result of my tummy tuck. Dr Jeremy Hunt did a marvellous job and exceeded my expectations. The operation surprisingly was not as painful as I had imagined it would be. After 51 years I no longer have the c/section scar from belly button to pubic area (the old way of doing the c/sections. It is great no longer having the unsightly scar down the centre of my tummy - I am so thrilled with the result. I have less stretch marks also, and a cute little belly button.

Feeling a bit fed up today. I tried going without my CG today but put it on again after about 5 hours. I was a little uncomfortable and could feel a little jarring as I walked. I am still sore and the swelling today is not good. When I touch my stomach muscles in between my breasts they still feel like they are bruised and swollen, I can feel a lump. The top half of my stomach the skin isn't as firm as the lower half. The lower half is really firm, maybe I am expecting too much too soon and because I am old maybe that is the way it will be. Just wanted to have a bit of a moan this evening. I will probably feel more up tomorrow.

Glad its going well. Settle in to the swelling for a while. Unfortunately it hangs around a very long time. You still have quite a while to go before you will be close to seeing your end results. Its hard not to look too closely we are always so critical of our own bodies. Would love to see some pics.

I will have to get a decent picture taken, I am too critical of the ones my husband has taken. I am off to see the nurse at ps office today as I have this one bit of stitch still sticking out. It has been snipped off twice before but still insists on staying there. I don't like looking at myself too much, I am still concerned that the scars will thicken. I am wearing silicon strips 24/7 so hopefully that will help. I do massage the scars each night with bio oil before putting on the silicon. I am also still wearing my cg as it gives me the comfort that I want. Thanks for replying to me. Best wishes

Five Month Update
It is now five months since my TT and I am feeling good. I was concerned about the upper part of my stomach just below my breasts being still a bit puffy and not as firm as the lower part. Unfortunately Dr was unable to pull my skin any tighter there. I could have more lipo but then the skin would be loose. At my age I think leave well enough alone as the improvement has been amazing. Nearly 70 and no more C.section scar from BB to pubic area is fantastic. I am very happy with the results.

Hi,
You look amazing.
I am 68 and making the surgery date next week and can't wait. Mine will be a Fleur de Lis, but being a male, I don't need to worry about a scar. I hope I do as well as you, so keep thinking positively and in another 12 months, you will wonder why you didn't do it 30 years ago!

Sorry I didn't reply to you before this but I have only just found your comment. Thank you for your kind words, it was certainly a good move to have this done. I wish you well with your operation and I'm sure you will be happy with the results.
